The accessory switch connection should be under your seat. In order to make a connector, you will need the following to make the delphi connector:

P/N 70264-94A - Two into One Harness Adapter - this will allow you to plug both accessories into the accessory switch.

Do two sets of the following - making the accessory connector for each device
P/N QTY DESC
72191-94 2 Socket Terminal
72114-94BK 1 Socket Housing
72154-94 1 Socket lock, secondary

Steps to make connector (you'll have to double check your wiring diagram to confirm I have the write lead pin numbers correct)

- Crimp 1 Socket Terminal (72191-94) on the positive lead wire.
- Crimp 1 Socket Terminal (72191-94) on the negative lead wire.
- Insert positive lead wire into pin 3 of Socket Housing (72114-94BK).
- Insert negative lead wire into pin 4 of Socket Housing (72114-94BK).
- Insert Socket lock, secondary (72154-94) into Socket Housing (72114-94BK).
- Plug completed connector into accessory switch connection under seat.

I hope this helps.

There is a connector inside the nacelle.I had a Powerlet wired from inside the nacelle and can be turned on and off by the accessory switch.I am not electrically savvy so had the dealership do it for me.It must be easy cause the labor charge was minimal.I'm sure somebody on here can walk you through the installation.There is no need to come off from the electrical box under the seat.

How do you wire something to the accessory switch on an 08 Road King? I have a GPS and J-M CB I want to wire to the accessory switch.
If you want to just tap into 12V (toggled by ignition switch) at the ACC switch, here is a diagram of how I wired my GPS. If you want to toggle power using the ACC switch, tap into the orange (O) wire instead, but everything downstream of the switch will be toggled too.

When I did mine I thought it was in headlight nacelle&nbsp\\;but couldn't find it. It was located in front of the battery. A female plug. You can buy the male plug with all the parts in a package around 5 bucks at HD.
